The Tulane MakerSpace uses [[Ultimaker 2]] [[3d Printing|3d printers]] with a heated bed to allow for both [[ABS]] and [[PLA]] printer [[filament]].  We generally recommend using ABS filament as it allows for better finishing effects (such as [[smoothing]]), however there are advantages and disadvantages to both.


The standard slicing software favored for these printers is [[Cura]], which allows you to arrange and size your model and set options for the printer to follow.
